I lean quite Anglo-Catholic and had a very dismissive sort of view of the Articles. But your video on icons really helped me to see the nuance and carefully chosen language in the articles and has restored in me a love for the articles. And in that, has brought a sort of contentment in my tradition as opposed to the strong tug I felt toward Rome and Orthodoxy. So thank you very much for what you do.
Thank you for the kind words, my friend!
Love your content. I am currently an acolyte in my church and also currently getting my undergrad done before attending seminary to be ordained in the Anglican church.
Lots of love for the Anglican tradition. I pray the daily office periodically and have been influenced heavily from Anglican Christianity. I’m probably considered low church but I am comfortable in anglocatholic settings.
Thanks for the comment!
Really excellent apology for Anglicanism as Reformed Catholicism. I share a similar journey from Baptist to Reformed to Anglican, and share your insistence on Word and Sacrament. Tradition has to be part of the truth equation as the Holy Spirit has been working for 2000 years, not just 500. Agree BCP and 39 Articles go hand in hand as Anglican Formularies. One issue I still struggle with is episcopal ecclesiology. While I agree it is Traditional and Biblical, I worry about how it seems dependent on fallible humans, e.g., TEC and CofE bishops who have apostatized, which is discouraging. Of course, so have other mainline denominations. I like your label "Reformational Anglican," and appreciate your enthusiasm for all things Anglican.
A question & comment on your fourth point, eg 39-articles as the distinctive of Anglicans to Rome or the Eastern Churches. What's the need of having a confessional distinctive given the Creed's common confession of belief in One, holy, catholic and apostolic Church? Do you have a historical justification for confessions as distinguishing the Churches, rather than, say, geographical or national jurisdictions?
I would say that the justification comes only if we grant Rome as having developed errors that needed correction.
Where can you read on the reasons why the reformers deviated from deacon priest bishop form of government?
Glad I found another Anglican channel. When my elder son founded his YT channel I didn't know of many others. Welcome and pax Christi..
Blessings to you, my friend!
@@merecatholicity Keep up the good work. Blessings.
Well said.
@ 16:00 glad to hear you've fully apprehended nominalism 😊
Thanks to you, my friend!
How is your experience with locals? Is it better than Patreon?
I like it a lot more. It allows far more interaction between people. It functions more like a FB group.
I find when it comes to the 39 Articals the biggest dividing line within orthodox Anglicanism really is the calvinistic/augustinian articles. I have found arminaian leaning Anglicans (which are primarily found among high church Anglo-Catholics, not Anglo-Evangelicals; who are almost to a fault calvinists) must define the articles as a product of "thier time" to remain consistent with thier soterological commitment. As much as Neuman and the tractarians tried, to find a work around and redefine the articles as fundamentally roman catholic (see Neuman's tract 90 as an example), they ultimaty could not (which is why IMHO he ultimately crossed the tiber). Thus the calvinistic and other articles remain fundamentally protestant and define anglicanism as such, something many deeply committed Anglo-Catholics who find they cannot cross the Tiber (for a multitude of other theological innovations the roman church created) would like to forget given thier calvinistic underpinning (found in the articles like Article 17)
BTW maybe your familiar, the REC (Reformed Episcopal Church
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reformed_Episcopal_Church) now part of the ACNA, is both Reformed and High Anglo Catholic. Bishop Ray Sutton (Bishop of the REC) was a former reformed reconstructionist; who at one time a part of the same reformed church in Tyler Texas with James Jordan, Gary North and David Chilton. I have learned a lot from Bishop Ray.
Anyway I thought I'd share this from him, it's theologically rich :) ruclips.net/p/PLj87TokQhPJ6AjwTTT6eWXWEHYH43cbDP
Yeah, I believe that is a fair assessment.
The church cannot be open to teaching errors! If if the true church guided by the Holy Spirit. Sorry brother you don’t know what your talking about, when historically the king is the head of the church?
I have seen your weak theological ideas and your progression to Roman Catholicism is nearly complete. A false Gospel is no Gospel at all. Hope and pray you don’t lead to many people astray.
You're a legitimate fool.
@@merecatholicity 😂
He needs to join the true faith, no half measures!

The true faith is the Catholic faith, which Rome does not have the "fullness of" nor the exclusive claims to. The Ecclesia Anglicana is Catholic, and reformed, and possesses the markings of the Church; namely the administering of word and sacrament under the authority of clerics who share in Christ's Melchizedek priesthood, ordained through tactile, sacramental succession.
